In Part I we follow Sonya’s desperate struggle with postpartum/postnatal depression and anxiety, leading her to the darkest of places as she struggled to accept her own child. We witness her painful journey as she tried to form a bond that comes so naturally to other young mothers. Meeting Kathryn changed her world forever as she helped Sonya to understand her feelings. Part I also gives us Kathryn’s valuable insight into how and why Sonya struggled to bond with her child and outlines exactly what needed to be done to enable her to recover and enjoy life as a mother.
Part II is Pullingthetrigger, the definitive survival and recovery approach for overcoming postpartum depression and anxiety. It is a unique, user-friendly self-help approach to support and guide mothers experiencing postpartum depression to a place called recovery and beyond.
